15 years later, still one of the best songs and music videos.

"Don't waste your time or time will waste you" one of my favorite lyrics ever, so true.

This Muse song always reminds me of my late son, as he introduced me to it. He's been gone 12 years now, but he's here again whenever I listen to it. He had good taste in music.

The first minute is basically me waking up and going to school every day.

Muse be like "Okay, it's a song about rebelling against the government, but can we have cowboys and martial artists in the video just for funsies?"

Hearing this song at a concert just takes your breath away honestly

Matt Bellamy wrote this song in part as a tribute to his father, who was a member of The Tornadoes and their 1962 mega-hit “Telstar,” which commemorated the first successful active communications satellite. You can hear the instrumentals at the beginning and hear their resemblance to the satellite-in-space sound that was a staple of “Telstar.” So much of this was a nod to the elder Bellamy’s hit.

Man this Red Dead Redemption 2 mod looks dope

If technology and wild west doesn't make much sense to you: there's a desert in mars called cydonia.

Ending this song during Malaysia concert tour just a few days ago was the most epic thing to ever happen in my life. Everybody headbanging and singing. EPIC!!! Please, come back again to Malaysia, Muse!

My first time hearing Muse, wife said you're going to love this crazy new video. To this day best thing she ever introduced me to.

Matt, 2006-2007 he said something along the lines of, "We wanted to make a bomb-tastic, silly over the top , track, We never thought it would become this huge. Now people are singing the instrument parts when we play live."

I love this song as much as I hate this song. Because everytime they play this live, I know it's gonna be the last song of the set.

"How can we win when fools can be kings?" In a time of idiocracy, influencers and idiots pretending to be important this question becones truer than ever.

Muse, please remaster this video for today's HD standards. *THIS CULTURAL GEM DESERVES TO BE IN GLORIOUS 4K*

I finally found this video after 14 years of searching. Saw it long ago when I was in the hospital, and always kind of thought it was nothing more than a fever dream, brought on by the post surgery pain killers. Good to know I wasn't dreaming the whole thing up.

14 years and still waiting for full movie release date :(

In 6 minutes I'm more emotionally invested in these characters than most movies I see.

oh shit how is this song almost 20 years old ... god im getting old

Psychologist: "all dreams have meaning" My dreams:

oh lord, not even a special muse fan....but this is a masterpiece.

Come ride with me Through the veins of history, I'll show you how God Falls asleep on the job And how can we win, When fools can be kings? Don't waste your time Or time will, waste, you... No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive

This is one of the most creative music videos I've ever seen. The cheesy spaghetti western theme, with a few retro fantasy tropes thrown in, is pure genius. Did the band watch the video first then write the song around it? They absolutely nailed it. Whoever is responsible, needs a raise.

Who ever came up with this music video is a genius. Just goes so well with the song itself.

"AND HOW CAN WE WIN, WHEN FOOLS CAN BE KINGS ?" The world today.

As someone who is not technically a Muse fan, this is the best music video ever created. Period.

I just love the cheeky British humour of this music video. One of my favorite Muse songs!

“Don’t waster your time or time will waste you” Such a powerful line.

16 years ago? are you kidding? IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY! WE LOVE THIS!!!

Fun fact. This was meant to be a joke. They were laughing their asses off in the studio and they thought people would hate it. It ended up becoming one of their most iconic songs.

We absolutely need a 4k remaster of this masterpiece

Only Legends of Rock remember playing this song on Guitar Hero 3 😌😂

probably the best martial arts - sci-fi- western film ive ever seen. and they're even done with it in 6 mins. Truly Glorious

This might honestly be the most 2006 thing I've ever seen in my life. Top-tier music video.

There are few bands that have left an unmistakable mark on the history of rock and that have created masterpieces. Muse is in my top 10

I (wrongly) dismissed Muse as a teenager...now that I'm older I can appreciate the band a lot more. This song in particular is simply amazing. Love that chord progression, man.

Epic song - possibly one of the best rock songs written in the 21st century. Awesome riffs, great vocals, and solid bass and drums - nothing can get better than this!

If you watch this in 2023, you have my respect

WE ARE GETTING SURPRISINGLY RECOMENDED WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

This was the Guitar Hero song that made me say to myself "Why am I wasting my time and effort to learn a sequence of button presses to fake play a song when I'm better off picking up my guitar or bass and learning the actual damned song." So much fun to play the bassline to this and so many other Muse songs. Whatever instrument you play, or always wanted to play, pick one up and learn how to play it. If you think listening to your favorite songs is cathartic, practicing your ass off and then finally nailing one of your favorite songs is absolutely intense.

Still the best screen adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower

This isnt a new genre, this is all of them

Matt is a seriously underrated guitarist, he's a beast on the guitar 🎸 🎉

Most relevant line in any song…. “How can we win, when fools can be kings”

That vocal with music at 3:18 till the end gives me chills every time, literally the best i have ever heard

My older brother showed me this year's ago when I was tiny and I just found it again, so glad

Absolute masterpiece.

This is honestly one of the best music videos i have ever seen

This is probably my favourite music video ever

Greatest film ever made.

This always gave me bohemian rhapsody vibes. I remember being a teenager and playing this album to my mates, its still so damn good

Memories of playing guitar hero with my dad.

The best song of Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock.

17 YEARS AGO!!!???!! I AM SO OLD!!!!

2024 anyone???

Funny how this song was originally written as a joke - Matt said himself he didn’t expect it to become so popular Edit: I did not expect so many likes! Thank you!

This song is perfect for eating peanut butter out of a jar

Volume doesn’t go loud enough for this masterpiece

Deserves 10B views. A great band but still being overlooked by many. Forever a great band for my soul.

This video is if George Lucas is on an acid trip and his guide is Tarantino

Muse: one of the most underrated bands of our time. They deserve more credit and definitely more airplay!

17 years, this year. A hacky attempt at finding Guitar Hero 3 led me back to this masterpiece. Nostalgia won today. And so did the enduring character of musical gaming.

Omg, 51 but i still HAVE to whip my hair like a maniac. Every. Time.

The Magnificent Seven + Bruce Lee + Star Wars = Knights of Cydonia

You can perceive that a song transcends history and is timeless when you listen to it and watch the videoclip and it feels like it was made yesterday. Muse are one of those bands that was not so loved during their apex time but will be, eventually, writen into the music history books.

I love this song, and the energy it gives off. No one will ever take me alive.

How awesome do you want the music video to be? Yes

Muse is one of those bands you should listen to when depressive situations fulfill your early morning and tears become unstoppable. It's incredible how their music can save your own life.

Holy shit the drop in this song hits hard. Still one of the greats in 2023

Video makes me think of one of my all time favorite television shows, "Firefly" but with the space/ cowboy theme cranked up to FULL spaghetti western. Just great!

This... I... I don't _really_ understand what just happened, but it involved space, cowboys, robots, shitty special effects, and scantily clad women, and that's good enough for me, I guess. That was an experience.

My friend Adam introduced me to Muse and this song. The first time I listened to Knights of Cydonia after he died I was openly crying. He was only 39 years old. I play this song now to honour his memory! RIP ADAM.

My percussion teacher gave me this song to play it on the drums, and now I'm a new Muse fan! 🤩✨

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS SONG. It touch your soul and bring you to fly!

The last time I saw this video I was incredibly high and I it felt like it lasted three hours. So yeah, amazing.

Fml this is awesome. The intro build up is just incredible.....and then they drop the bomb and air guitaring happens. We all do it.

Tombstone was released in 1993, Knights was released in 2006, it is 2024. The amount of time from from knights to tombstone is 13 years, from knights to today is 18 years. This song is closer to the movie tombstone than today.

2022 and this is still kicking ass! And little by little more realistic!

This is literally the most Tarantino movie song ever that's the only way I can explain this

Man, no music is like this anymore😢

They were the "queen" of our generation. 🤟

Producer: What do you want in the video Matt and the gang: yes

This song was ahead of its time by ten years

Every time I go to Mars I get this in my head. What a song.

Dude, I can't believe this song is 17 years old

This song took me 4 years to beat on Guitar Hero 3 Hard Mode

READ DEAD REDEMPTION 3: RETURN OF THE JEDI

Muse is the one and only band that will never sound like todays music😢.

Man, I had that exact, same dream...

15 years later, I am still waiting for the feature length movie.

This song and video are so epic it hurts.

this song one of my favorite. thank you brother matthew for releasing this song

This video needs a 1080p or higher version after all these years. It's so cinematic.

The corny stylo. attempted, and fulfiled in full - in this video is exquisite. Magnificent and superb video-work. Greatings from Denmark

Masterpiece. ❤ if you love this amazing song by Muse. Listen to the rest. All the albums. Muse is amazing

I absolutely adore the music video's style. The 'fake' martial arts are so refreshing and it's so nice to be free of the gritty realism and how seriously combat in media takes itself. It is so nice to just enjoy the comical combat and scenes like this video portrays. You rarely see pieces of film where combat is done in a comical and enjoyable way. 10/10.

there's mystical power behind this song, that's what makes it unique and amazing

Super bizarre video but totally amazing. The solo guitars is full of energy. In my opinion, one of the best in history of rock. Thanks a lot muse for this song.

I can't be the only person who goes freak-out at the 4:13 mark. That riff is too damn glorious.

This song needs to be in the RDR 2 how awesome will that be
